The 'Divergent' actor and 'Twilight' actress will join Richard Gere in the new film about an older gentleman who wedges himself into the lives of a young couple.

Director Andrew Renzi will helm the film based on a screenplay he wrote himself and Treehouse Pictures will produce the budget drama.

Up-and-coming actor James is set to become one of Hollywood's most sought after leading men when new teen sci-fi thriller 'Divergent' hits cinemas next March. The film, which is expected to rival 'The Hunger Games' and launch a franchise, will co-star Shailene Woodley and Kate Winslet.

Former child actress Fanning recently played a supporting role in the 'Twilight' films and will next be seen in 'Effie Gray' and 'Every Secret Thing'.

Gere, meanwhile, is coming off an Oscar-nominated turn in thriller 'Arbitrage' and will voice the titular character in a movie called 'Henry & Me'.
